Hello;
I'm fairly new to Linux as an OS, and want to try running linux alongside WinXP. The only programs I'd like to run are PD&GEM+everyotherexternal (of course), supercollider, rosegarden, and Blender. I also have about 4 commercial VSTs, and lots of free effects that I'd like to run in Linux under PD. I've done some reading about getting VST's to work using WINE, Jack and a couple of other things. I have about 10gigs of un-partitioned space on my main harddrive, and was thinking of installing Debian, Suse, or Free-BSD distro. Any recomendations as far as a good distro for PD?
My system is a P4 3.06 533Mhz bus with 512MB of DDR ram and Asus ATI Radeon 9600se. I realise my MOTU 828 is not supported. Maybe I'll pick up an RME-Hamerfall card.
